Introduction to Time and Eternity
Time and Eternity is a unique JRPG developed by Imageepoch, known for its distinctive hand-drawn animation style. The game follows the story of Toki, a princess about to marry her knightly fiancé Zack. However, during their wedding, Toki is attacked and Zack ends up protecting her, but is fatally wounded. In a twist, Toki reveals she has a split personality and can travel through time! Zack, now sharing a soul with Toki's dragon side Towa, must travel through time to prevent his own death and uncover the mysteries behind the attack. With its interesting combat system and vibrant visuals, Time and Eternity offers a memorable, if somewhat quirky, gaming experience. But, let's be honest, we're here for those sweet, sweet trophies, right? So, let's get started on the road to that Platinum!

General Tips for Trophy Hunters
Before we jump into the specific trophies, here are some general tips to keep in mind:
- Play on Normal Difficulty: The difficulty doesn't affect the trophies, so stick to Normal for a balanced experience. You don't want to make things harder on yourself than they need to be, do you?
- Complete Side Quests: Many trophies are tied to completing side quests. Make sure to explore each area thoroughly and talk to NPCs to uncover all available quests.
- Manage Your Time: Time travel is a key mechanic in the game, so use it wisely. Don't be afraid to go back to previous time periods to complete missed quests or gather items.
- Grind When Necessary: Like any JRPG, some grinding will be required to level up your characters and obtain rare items. Find a good spot and put on a podcast or some music to make it more enjoyable.
- Save Frequently: This cannot be stressed enough. Save your game often, especially before and after important events or difficult battles. This will prevent you from losing progress if something goes wrong.
